For those stalkers out there I've compiled this rather large list of my favourite books, movies, television shows, and software.
Favourite Books
There is a fine line between satire and seriousness, as expertly demonstrated by George Orwell. I read mostly to make me think—and feel. The books listed here have all moved me in one way or another. This is not an exhaustive list, of course, but it should give you an idea of the sort of literature I appreciate.
I am definitely not a strag! The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy numbers among my favourite books, of course. Of a serious tone, Dune is probably the best novel ever written. Its sheer scope, the number of themes it explores, boggles the mind.
